A lot of people here are forgetting the fact that almost all year long there is a season for something. If times get rough and it's not deer season, then hunt what is in season...heck go down to the pond and catch a hundred or so perch and catfish. They are always in season most places, and it's not hard to catch them. You can probably get more meals out of fishing each day than you could hunting for a week in some places. And also, if MOST cases, if you can get out to hunt, you can physically handle a desk job or do something to make some cash. My dad's company was closed a year or two back after he'd worked there for 30 years and was at the top. A company in Chicago bought the small Oklahoma business and shut them down from several state's away[:@], and they didn't care about families or the good business. But my dad started a window washing company. Yes, he was a top dog businessman at a good business, but when it was gone he made the adjustment to make ends meet until he found a better job again.
